Big Fn' Joe's Backyard Bash


 

Furio v. JJ King


I was very distracted watching this with a dog barking in the background and the whole setup of the show so this match didn't stand out to me.


Furio won via pinfall

0.75/5


Mud Show Express (Reece and Rogan (v. Ryan Huxley and Vato Diablo (Dara Diablo)


This was a nice straight-up tag match. Someone got thrown into a pool so that was cool. 


Ryan Huxley and Vato Diablo won via pinfall 

2.5/5


Daniel O'Doherty v. Suicide Youth (Michael Caden)

Daniel O'Doherty played an awesome Jesus gimmick and we finally had a tube broken here so this was a fun match.


Suicide Youth won via pinfall

2/5


Kid Kamikaze (Jack Bennett)v. Iceman Harrop 


This was very brutal, Iceman almost retired and was still taking bumps into Barbed Wire nets and taking gusset plates, I'm glad to see that he did not call it quits and Jack Bennett's strikes were on the point plus that Bin he usually takes bumps on did not give at all but he's okay.


Iceman Harrop won via pinfall 

3.25/5


Afterward, we got to see Jack Bennett having his wounds tended to, these videos gross me out and intrigue me at the same time. 


Johnny Cougar (Danny Darko) v. Keg Stacker v. Kaos (Johnny Viribus)


This match was a bit slow for my liking but the spot where they all downed tall boys and punched each other was cool. 


Johnny Cougar won via pinfall

2/5


England's Hardest Man(Lou Nixon) defended the Rise Underground European Death Match Championship against One Man Stampede (Tim Strange) in a Bullrope Match


I usually don't like Bullrope Matches but this was entertaining. Lou answering a Fans phone at the beginning of the match was amazing and Stampede is a real hard ass taking those Roman Candle shots with no shirt on. The rest of this match was eh but it wasn't the participants it was the stipulation.


England's Hardest Man retained

2/5


Ice Cube (Jack Harrop) v. Joe FX (Big Fn Joe)


For one weapon being used here, this was very good. It was Skinny Tube galore here and this was just a great Death Match.


Ice Cube won via pinfall

3.75/5



For this being the UK's take on backyard wrestling this was fun and I hope this becomes a yearly thing. 


6.5/10

GCW: Homecoming 2024 Night 2


 

Jack Cartwheel v. Griffin McCoy 


We had a standard curtain jerker. There was nothing wrong with the people in it and the match was fine but nothing stuck to me either.


Jack Cartwheel won via pinfall 

2.25/5


Tony Deppen v. Galleno Del Mal 


This was intended to be a good wrestling match. I like that Tony Deppen was showcased as the great wrestler he is here, it's a shame the Rings didn't work for him. And Galleno looked good here as well doing good strikes. This was a good and solid wrestling match so it delivered on what it was supposed to.


Galleno Del Mal won via pinfall 

2.5/5


Speedball Mike Bailey v. Zilla Fatu 


This was set up to see how well Zilla can hang with one of the best wrestlers going right now. Speedball was great power usual but fucking Zilla again. This man can wrestle a straight match as well as fuck you up in a Death Match. This was an amazing match 


3.75/5


Charles Mason v. Fuego Del Sol 


Charles Mason has been targeting Fuego Del Sol for some reason. It did have the surprise of Richard Holliday sliding a chair to Fuego Del Sol and causing him the match and the Parrow and Holliday turning on Charles Mason and there was a weird angle with Charles Mason getting arrested for murder. Charles Mason is still very boring but he did stab Fuego in the head with scissors so that's cool. The match itself was okay but way too long so I wasn't too into it. 


2.5/5


Alec Price v. John Wayne Murdoch 


This was an unannounced match that's a clash of styles with Alec Price as a great wrestler and John Wayne Murdoch as a Death Match Wrestler. Alec Price was already a great wrestler and he has been stepping up his game lately. This man even did a Death Match spot by taking a bump through a pane of glass. John Wayne Murdoch even won with a straight wrestling hold. This was a good match for a clash of styles. 


John Wayne Murdoch won via pinfall 

2.75/5

Masha Slamovich defended the JCW Championship against Megan Bayne 


I did not know about this match ahead of time but I'm glad it's happening. Honestly wrestling wise there wasn't much to this match and this was focused on the end where Steph DeLander came out and cost Megan Bayne the match. 


Masha Slamovich retained via submission 

2.25/5


Violence is Forever defended the GCW Tag Team Championship against Los Macizos 


Even though Los Macizos are having problems can they coexist to win the Tag Titles? We had a nice start with the two teams brawling in the aisle, we even had a cool spot with Miedo Xtremo breaking a Storage Bin over Dominic Garrini's head but when Ciclope went for the Tag and Miedo left him so there was the turn. This was a nice short brawl but I'm not ready to see Los Macizos end. 


Hot start

Miedo breaking plastic bins on Garrini

Miedo turns back on Ciclope 


Violence is Forever retained via pinfall 

2.5/5


Drew Parker, Big Fn Joe and Lou Nixon v. Matt Tremont, Brandon Kirk and Hoodfoot


6 of the best Death Match Wrestlers destroying each other let's fucking go! This was very chaotic as you would expect. Lou and Tremont are insane for going from King of the Kill to the Showboat overnight. That bump Tremont took off the Scaffold through the door stack was insane and Drew Parker doing the Swanton off the top of the Scaffold into the empty ring after coming off and nearly ending his career was nuts too. This delivered and I'm glad the UK guys got the shine here.


Matt Tremont, Brandon Kirk and Hoodfoot won via pinfall

3.25/5


Hunter Drake, Brayden Toon, Mr. Danger and Bobby Flaco v. Thrussy and Sawyer Wreck 


This is probably just them trying something different other than a scramble. This was exactly that but it had Thrussy and Sawyer in it. This was a throwaway match but at least it wasn't a scramble.


Chrissy and Sawyer Wreck won via pinfall

1.75/5


Death Match Royalty v. Matt Hardy and Joey Janela 


This is Matt Cardona's return from injury. Matt Cardona was great here but let's talk about Matt Hardy. This man was leg-dropping through tables off of ladders like it was 2001 and using Light Tubes. What the fuck was I watching? This was a very fun match and a great way to end the show.


Matt Hardy and Joey Janela won via pinfall

4/5


Overall


This show had a few moments like the Main Event, The UK v. USA 6 person, Macizos breaking up and Alec Price hopefully getting into Death Match but it was a lot of filler. This was not a complete waste but they've had better Showboat shows. 

6/10

GCW:Homecoming 2024 Night 1




Matthew Justice v. Zilla Fatu 

This was a good way to open the show. Matthew Justice was welcomed back to the Showboat with an insane reaction and then these two went in and beat the fuck out of each other. That's what I like to see in a wrestling match.

Zilla Fatu won via pinfall 
2.25/5

Sidney Akeem v. Tony Deppen 

I haven't been the biggest Sidney Akeek and dismissed him as just another flippy guy, but this was a good performance here, also How is Deppen gonna use the rings and that not be the finish?

Sidney Akeem won via pinfall
2.75/5

Los Macizos v. The Kirks

We finally had some violence here. We had some stiff chair shots, a barbed wire board was used and both Kasey and Miedo Extremo fell into a barbed wire net. Matchwise this was a nice, quick little tag match and story they furthered the Macizos split with Ciclope accidentally getting pushed into the Barbed Wire door and Miedo getting accidentally shoved off the apron onto the Barbed Wire net by Ciclope. I don't wanna see Macizos break up.

The Kirks won via pinfall
2.5/5

Big Fn Joe v. John Wayne Murdoch 

These two pulled out all the stops.  They threw it back to their NFI 7 match and Joe whopped on Murdoch with a tree branch. Even though JWM did shove a Tube up Joe's ass Big Fn Joe dished out the majority of the punishment here by doing the 10 Count Punch with Tubes and using said Tree Branch. I thought Joe was crazy for wrestling in tight whities but by the end of the match that's all he was wearing. This was a solid Death Match and I'm glad Joe got the win.

Big Fn Joe won via pinfall
3.25/5

Galleno Del Mal v. Masha Slamovich 

This felt like a filler match to me. It was unannounced and had no story to it. The match was fine but on an already-loaded show, this was unnecessary. 

Masha Slamovich won via submission 
2/5
Raj Desi and the Bollywood Boyz v. Thrussy

Anyone who comes from the mainstream tries to go through Effy.  Raj Desi and the Bollywood Boyz didn't leave an impression on me in this one. Thrussy was good per usual. The match itself was decent but a little boring for my taste. It was a very WWE pace and I don't wanna see that in GCW.

Thrussy won via pinfall
2.25/5

Danhausen v. Ultramantis Black

This was a gimmick match between 2 people who do their gimmicks well. This was a very Chikara-esque match and was entertaining to watch. I had fun watching it. 

Danhausen won via pinfall 
2.5/5

Megan Bayne v. Vipress v. Sawyer Wreck v. Jordynne Grace

Megan Bayne threw out an open challenge and these three women answered. Megan Bayne is quickly becoming one of my favorite wrestlers in GCW. I haven't seen too much of Vipress but she was impressive here. I'm glad Sawyer Wreck is back from injury and she looked great here. And Jordynne Grace was a nice addition and surprise for this match.  This was a nice and hard-hitting 4 way and all the surprises hit. 

Megan Bayne won via pinfall 
3/5

Drew Parker v. Brandon Kirk 

This was supposed to be Drew Parker against Nick Gage but Nick Gage couldn't wrestle so Brandon Kirk was his replacement. Drew got all his classics in like the Dart spot and letting Brandon Kirk pierce his cheek with a Dart. This match also had a lot of no-selling tubes and glass and this was short. This was a good match but very short.

Drew Parker won via pinfall 
3/5

Mance Warner v. Joey Janela v. Blake Christian for the GCW Championship in a Ladder Match 

This was a ladder match to determine the undisputed GCW Champion. This match had many crazy spots like Mance Warner jamming a Screwdriver into Blake Christian's leg, Joey Janela giving Blake Christian an Epbow Drop from a Ladder to the floor and Joey Janela doing a package piledriver through a stack of doors and ladders. There was also a lot of interference. Jimmy Lloyd came out to knock Joey Janela off of the ladder but Masha Slamovich came out to stop Jimmy, Matt Cardona tried to insert himself in the match but Manders put a stop to that. And JBL came out and attacked Effy. This was a great match and I didn't even mind the interference.  This is what a ladder match should be, crazy bumps and a lot of action.

Mance Warner won the Undisputed GCW Championship 
4/5

Overall 

I've been down on GCW lately because of them running too much and there being more wrestling-based and less Death Match based. But this show brought it back to what I like about them with a mix of good wrestling and great Death Match wrestling. Keep this up. 

7/10

RPW: King of the Kill 2


 


Shlak v. Jeff King in a Round One Match


This was the start of the King of the Kill Tournament. The match itself was short and a little slow. Towards the end, it felt rushed but that could be because Jeff King took a Power Bomb onto a chair and smacked his head on the seat so he may have been concussed. This was just okay but like I said, it could have been other circumstances. 



Shlak advanced via pinfall

2/5


Otis Cogar v. Matt Tremont in a First-Round Match 


These two behemoths squared off next to see who would advance to the next round. This reminded me of a Godzilla movie with these two big men destroying everything in their path and beating each other with anything not nailed down. Otis had a nice spot using dual Straight Razors on Tremont's mouth. These two big men flew too. Otis landed a nice moonsault onto a pane of glass and Tremont did an Avalanche off the top rope onto a Tube Bundle. In the end, the Black Abdullah the Butcher did what he does best and carved up Otis with a fork. I enjoyed this brutal match which set the tone for things to come.




Matt Tremont advanced via referee stoppage 

3.25/5


Lou Nixon defended the RPW Rust Belt Championship against Dr. Redacted in a First Round Match.


In this Tournament, the Rust Belt Championship was on the line in every round. We started with Dr. Redacted bringing a bomb to the ring, which did get used in a spot in the match. These two spent most of the match brawling outside and even ended up fighting in a Corn Field. Dr. Redacted hit a nice senton off the apron through a door. These two then went back to the ring and hit each other with tubes and glass then slowed it down for some chain wrestling. The momentum kind of got lost in a spot where they couldn't get the door to break. It was a fun match but it was a shame about the door. 



Lou Nixon retained and advanced via submission 

2.75/5


Judge Joe Dred v. Cassanova Valentine in a First Round Last Man Standing Match 


Steven Jury ordered this to be a Last Man Standing Match so it was. This had a lot of outside brawling with Judge Joe Dred taking a vicious bump through a construction barrier. The key part of this match was Steven Jury's involvement and how he even took a bump through the unbreakable door. That part felt very old school heel and I loved it. The match itself was slow for me but the creative finish of having Cassanova Valentine tied up was a cool idea. 


Judge Joe Dred's Advanced

2.25/5



Chuck Stein and Brandon St. James v. Randi West and Schwartzy 


This match was nontournament. And it had some cool stuff like Chuck Stein's Syringe spot and I liked that the spot where Brandon St. James went knee-first through the glass was used as the finish. This was a nice comedy match used to lighten people up in between rounds of the tournament and I liked it.



Randi West and Schwartzy won via pinfall

2/5


Lou Nixon defended the RPW Rust Belt Championship against Judge Joe Dred in a Second Round Match 


This was Lou Nixon's second defense of the evening. Lou laid in his kicks while using Tubes which I love. Lou even busted out the Light Tube Nunchucks. But Lou Nixon got his back cut good and couldn't get past the cheating of Steven Jury and Judge Joe Dred. This was a great match and I loved the shock of Judge Joe Dred winning. I didn't call that one. 


Judge Joe Dred won the RPW Rust Belt Championship and advanced via pinfall

3/5


Shlak v. Matt Tremont in a Second-Round Match


The winner of this gets a shot at the RPW Rust Belt Championship in the next round. We had another Godzilla match where These two destroyed each other. Shlak smashed a Cinderblock on Tremont's hand and put him through a Door covered in Tubes for the win. This was very short and I could have used more of this but it set up a cool match in H20 in November.



Shlak advanced via pinfall

3/5


Remington Rhor defended the RPW Kamikaze Championship against That Kyle


This was a good way to showcase the Kamikaze Championship on a big stage. Before this match, I did not know much of That Kyle but now I do. This dude is legit in the ring and can take insane amounts of punishment. Kyle did a nice spot on Rhor where he dropped in on Rhor with a light tube-covered skateboard. But after that, Remington Rhor beat the fuck out of him and threw a Shopping Cart with tubes on it at Kyle. The finish was insanity with Kyle raking a Death Valley Driver through a Barbed Wire Net with a Pane of Glass on top. This was a great match that I would put up there with any of the Tournament matches.


Remington Rhor retained via pinfall 

2.75/5


Judge Joe Dred defended the RPW Rust Belt Championship against Shlak in a Third Round Match 


This was it, this was to decide who won King of the Kill 2. This was kinda slow but very brutal and we saw Steven Jury attempt to cheat but Matt Tremont came out and took care of Steven Jury. This was a good match and a nice surprise that Shlak won.


Shlak won the RPW Rust Belt Championship and advanced via submission 

3/5


Shlak defended the RPW Rust Belt Championship against Tommy Vendetta in the Finals of King of the Kill 


I like this concept. Since Tommy Vendetta won King of the Kill last year and Shlak won this year the two faced off to see who is the real King of the Kill. The story of the match was simple. It was Tommy Vendetta wearing shirts. To get heat Tommy wore layers which is a bold move in that heat. Once Shlak got all the layers off he destroyed Tommy Vendetta by Power Bombing him onto broken glass. This was a great way to end the tournament and I'm happy with Shlak winning


 Shlak retained the RPW Rust Belt Championship and won King of the Kill 2

2.75/5


Overall


This was a pretty solid tournament. The second round was flawless and I like how there was a storyline in pretty much every tournament match because it made it super exciting to watch and witness live. The nontournament matches were even solid. I can't wait for next year and if you haven't checked out RPW you're fucking up and you need your head examined. Go to IWTV and watch this

Kumite: Beef 2024


 


David Grant v. Dante Durden


This was a weird match. Dante Durden sold being burnt by s cigarette too early and this was just too indierific for me.


David Grant won via pinfall

1/5


Harley Harris v. Luke Douglas 


This match was pretty decent for a straight wrestling match and I see potential for both wrestlers to be bigger on the UK scene sooner rather than later.


Luke Douglas won via pinfall 

1.5/5


Joseph Cardinal v. Roarke


We had an average Big Guy versus Little Guy match with nothing that stood out. 


Joseph Cardinal won via pinfall

2/5


British Top Team v. Franco Fate and Blue She 


This was a fun tag. Blue She is super over as a baby face and Lou Nixon is a killer in the ring.


Franco Fate and Blue She won via 

2/5


Clint Margera v. Big Fn Joe 


I liked this because not only did they smash each other into oblivion with light tubes but, these two showed that they can legit wrestle too. This is why Clint Margera and Big Fn' Joe are two of Europe's best. 


Clint Margera won via pinfall 

3.25/5


Tommbie v. Antonio Gonzalez


This was a cool match from two people I know little to nothing about. This was my first time seeing Antonio Gonzalez and this guy can hold his own in a Death Match and can strike pretty hard. Tommbie bled buckets and seems to be a legit Death Match Wrestler. I'll keep being on the lookout for both. 


Tommbie won via pinfall

3/5


B.A. Rose v. Alton Thorne 


This was a nice hoss fight. Did you see B.A. Rose do the pele kick? That's athleticism.


Alton Thorne won via pinfall

2/5


Jack Bennett v. Tim Strange 


The only shame in this match was the flaming cowbell spot. Tim Strange lit a cowbell on fire, which didn't stay lit and Jack Bennett went down too early. This was still a fun match though. And Jack Bennett stabbing Tim Strange with all those syringes was pretty uncomfortable but cool to watch at the same time. 


Jack Bennett won via pinfall

3.25/5


Danny Darko defended the Kumite World Heavyweight Championship against Michael Caden 


This was a nice hard-hitting match to end the show. That lariat Darko gives with the tubes is great. 


Danny Darko retained via pinfall

3/5


Overall


This company is growing at a great pace and gives me Progress vibes from 2014-2018. Kind of so-so undercard but the main events of this show more than made up for it. I'm excited to see what Kumite puts out as they continue to grow.  


6.5/10

H2O:Savage Summer 2024


 


Jimmy Chondo Lyon v. Killdozer in an Anything Goes Match 


This was a good match that was nice and bloody but Chondo walked out because he got a fireball thrown at him. 


Killdozer won via Count Out

1.75/5


The Dropouts v. Leroy Robinson, GG Everson and Cecilio Vega


The wrestling here was meh but GG Everson did turn heel and join the Dropouts so let's see where that story goes.


The Dropouts won via pinfall

2/5


Austin Luke v. Kody Manhorn 


This was a decently wrestled match but I'm ready for some Death Match already.


Kody Manhorn won via pinfall

2/5


Mouse and JB Anderson v. Lady Blakely and Alex Stretch in a Mouse Party 2


This was a good match until the goddamn Chondo had to ruin it by running in and attacking Alex Stretch. 


No Contest 

2/5


Anthraxx v. Jess Moss in a Light Tube Death Match 


This was a pretty good match that was hindered by the finish. Jess had Anthraxx In submission and was trying to break Light Tubes over Anthraxx while he was in the submission. It would have been good but the only problem was the Light Tubes Wouldn't break.


Jess Moss won via submission 

2/5


Neil Diamond Cutter defended the Danny Havoc Hardcore Championship against Low Life Louie Ramos



This was a good match where these two just played the hits and did their best moves to each other. Louie's screams were on another level after that nut shot with the Cinderblock though.


Neil Diamond Cutter retained via pinfall 

3/5


Deklan Grant defended the H2O Championship against Jimmy Chondo Lyon 


Chondo was a last-minute replacement for I don't know who but this match was good. Both men bled and there were a lot of barbed wire spots but this match was too short too. I wouldn't mind this being run back with more time later on.


Deklan Grant retained via submission 

2.25/5


Overall


There was some decent stuff on here but this show felt rushed and the attendance looked not up to par which did hurt the show a little bit. The storytelling with Chondo against Peace, Love and Death Match was the best part of this show.


6/10

ICW NHB Vol. 2


 


Nick Gage v. Casanova Valentine 


This was a good way to open the show. This was prime Nick Gage in my opinion because he was fresh off being done for a bit due to the Pandemic so he had something to prove. Also, Riley Madison was a great valet for Cass as she was jumping around and screaming at Nick Gage, I wouldn't mind seeing that act run back today. The match itself was very violent and during the Pizza Cutter spot Cass had to go get taped up, he finished the match though so that shows how tough Cass is.


Nick Gage won via pinfall 

3.25/5


Tony Deppen v. Dominic Garrini


While this was technically a good match, a technical match is really out of place on an ICW NHB show. This would have been good anywhere else just not in the chains.


Dominic Garrini won via pinfall

2.25/5


Akira v. Reed Bentley 


The main reason this match is remembered is because of the bump Akira took off the apartment complex. This bump was insane. Akira jumped off the awning of the complex while holding tubes and had Reed Bentley set up on a Table Stack. The match was okay but this bump was something. 


Reed Bentley won via pinfall

2.75/5


Brandon Kirk v. Matt Tremont 


Bulldozer Bulldozed Brandon Kirk here for a squash match.

Matt Tremont won via pinfall 

0.5/5


Eric Ryan v. Alex Colon 


There's not much I can say about this one except this was a bloodbath between two of the best then. The finish with Alex Colon giving Eric Ryan the Spanish Fly through the Barbed Wire and Light Tube door was sick too.


Alex Colon won via pinfall

3.25/5


John Wayne Murdoch v. Shlak 


This was amazing. These two just went in and beat the fuck out of each other with anything that wasn't nailed down. Both were also left lying in a pool of blood, go watch this match this is what Death Match is about and this was a good way to keep people up from the depression of the pandemic.


John Wayne Murdoch won via pinfall 

4/5


This was during the pandemic but ICW made this banger of a show work. They gave people a solid show after most were forced to be away from shows due to Lockdown and this had many memorable moments and was a Volume for the ages. Go out of your way to watch it on IWTV. 


8.5/10

Rise Underground: Embrace The Chaos 2024


 


Brett Semtex defended the Rise Underground Championship against Saxton Huxley 


This was a good wrestling match and I see an upside in Brett Semtex, in a way he reminded me of Kurt Angle. 


Brett Semtex retained via pinfall

2.75/5


Iceman v. Isaac North


This was just a brawl with no finish, Iceman deserves better.


No Contest

0.75/5


Nathan Black v. Will Cruz


I liked Will Cruz here and was impressed by what he can do for a guy his size and how much charisma he has. However the interference at the end with the guy Kemper I'm not familiar with took away from this decent match.


Nathan Black won via pinfall

1.75/5


Dara Diablo v. Jack Harrop


This was a lot of fun. Both men were bleeding and stabbing each other with anything and everything. We got the use of the infamous Skinny Tube. I liked them brawling outside and I feel Dara Diablo's pain on not being able to move that recycling bin, that happens to me at work all the time. Plus we got Iceman and Issac North coming back and finishing their brawl from earlier. This was straight out of an Episode of Hardcore TV in 95.


Dara Diablo won via pinfall

3/5


Lou Nixon defended the Rise Underground European Death Match Championship against Drew Parker 


There was no ring rust on Drew Parker. After returning from retirement this guy tore it the fuck up. We got the dart through-the-mouth spot on Lou Nixon and speaking of the darts Drew Parker put a little extra power on those when he threw them into Nixon's back. It's like Parker never left.


Lou Nixon retained via submission 

4.75/5


Jack Hackenbeard v. Tim Strange


This was just a pure comedy match and it served its purpose of letting everyone up before the main events.  

Time Strange won via Disqualification 

0.5/5


Emersyn Jane v. Jack Bennett 


This was a certified banger. Both went hard and showed people what UK Death Match is about. That spot where Jack Bennett does a Swanton onto a Tote always ceases to amaze me but this time it was wrapped in Barbed Wire. Emersyn Jane also got really good in the ring. Her Death Matches are always good but her actual wrestling ability was on point here as well. 


Emersyn Jane won via pinfall

4.25/5


Big Fn Joe v. Boy Wonder v. B.A. Rose v. Michael Caden v. Leonardo Darwin 


This was a pretty standard TLC match. A bunch of crazy bumps and people falling off ladders, but it was okay.


Leonardo Darwin won

2.5/5


Overall


This was a pretty solid show. We got a nice wrestling match to start the show and 3 very solid Death Matches. Drew Parker returning was the highlight for me and the main was fun but average. 


7.5/5

H2O: Ultraviolent Kingdom 7


 

Anthraxx v. Bam Sullivan In a Fans Bring The Weapons Match 


This was a great way to start the show and by God, Anthraxx's head busted open from the gusset plate. There was a literal pool of blood.


Bam Sullivan advanced via pinfall

2.25/5


Toby Farley v. Colby Corino in a Staple Gun Death Match 


This was a great match because of Colby Corino. He was such a good heel by commentating on his match and getting so much heat with the crowd that even I watching at home wanted him to get his ass beat. Also don't know much about Toby Farley but I found out here. I want more Toby Farley on shows.


Colby Corino advanced via pinfall

4/5


Remington Rhor v. Mouse 


Even though this was a squash Mouse took some bumps. I mean that Mouse Trap bump goddamn!


Remington Rhor advanced via pinfall

1.5/5


Alex Stretch v. Tommy Vendetta 


If Alex Stretch isn't on your radar by now you're stupid. He and Tommy went in there and had a great match with some cool barbed wire spots. And shout out to Alex Stretch's Terry Funk gear.


Alex Stretch advanced via pinfall 

2.5/5


Deklan Grant defended the H2O Championship against Marcus Mathers 


This was a good wrestling match to cleanse the pallet before more fuckery. 


Deklan Grant retained via pinfall 

2.5/5


Kristian Ross v. Matt Tremont 


This was short but violent and good, we even got the Bulldozer Tremont here. These two broke tubes and bled buckets and isn't that what wrestling is about?


Kristian Ross won via pinfall 

2.75/5


H2O Rumble

Even though Battle Royals are lame this was pretty fun. Go watch this clusterfuck to see what I mean I'm having a hard time wording it. 


Low Life Louie Ramos won

2/5


Bam Sullivan v. Colby Corino v. Remington Rhor v. Alex Stretch 



Now this was how you end a tournament. All these people went all out and left everything they had left in this match. By the end, all of these men were busted open and they used every tube they had in the H20 center. Also, shout out to Bam for taking that sick ass apron bump through the door. The right person won and I can't wait to see where this Peace Love and Death Match story goes.


Alex Stretch won the Ultraviolent Kingdom via pinfall

3.75/5


Overall


This is one of the better H2O shows I've seen and it was pretty much all killer no filler. The Tournament itself was great and the in between matches weren't bad themselves. Keep this up, Tremont.

GCW: Dream On 2025

  Lucky 13 came out and insulted the crowd, then Hacksaw Jim Duggan came out and insulted Lucky 13. Ray Jaz came out and attacked Lucky 13. ...
